A Day Like Today
Interestingly enough, the sun rose this morning
It seemed like the thing to do
Trees sprout their spring attire, a bit more each day
The wind picks up, drying the dew
These customary actions lure us into a false sense of security
A day like today promises no tomorrow

April is Poetry Month and NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) starts today!
Little pink house sitting on the corner
Paint fading over the years
Your garden’s thistles feed generations
Of bees, butterflies and finches
Lace windows smooth life’s sharp edges
Diffuse the brutal midday sunlight
Your threshold offers shelter
Wrapped in memories of children’s laughter
Little Pink House, beckoning
Butterfly feeding on a thistle
Lesser Goldfinch feeding on a thistle
Honey bee feeding on a thistle
NaPoWriMo 2014 Day 30
An early Mermaid rose bloom
The Mermaid’s first bloom
Opens to find spring waiting
Sends message: Follow
Soon a full bush of Mermaid roses
NaPoWriMo 2014 Day 29
Stars uncloak from the heavy mist
Grass and leaves with dew are kissed
Swallows chirp awaiting dawn’s light
I wake early thinking I might
Walk in the moon shadows
Only to find Nature knows
To end and start each day
It is I who search to find my way
Heavy morning mist
NaPoWriMo 2014 Day 28
Honeysuckle is the taste of my youth
Nectar teased out of the petal base
Only a drop, but it was enough
I now prefer the aroma
While passing near the vine
It slows down the passing of time
Recalling the taste of my youth, honeysuckle
Fond memories
NaPoWriMo Day 26
It's a long story ...
